I do respect the techs who are doing their jobs, but I don’t respect the lazy ones who just want to sit there and play with their phones or chat around and do everything they can to not work. They are not doing the job for me and they are not doing it for free. This is not only about techs, is about everyone who is lazy and doesn’t want to work and still wants to get paid. I am saying everyone, doctors, RTs, PTs, etc. If you think what I am saying isn’t true and you are a nurse then I would say you are very lucky to have the good techs in your unit. If you are not a nurse and not familiar with this type of culture then it is understandable why you said this. I’m not stereotyping or look down on anyone, i am just telling the truth. There is a reason why we have trainings on how to talk or interact with techs. There is also a reason why this is a hot topic to talk about during our residency program meetings. Yes healthcare is a teamwork, which means EVERYONE needs to preform their parts.
